This is not just your average pizza place. They serve a little bit of everything, but all of it is yummy, as if it were made by your grandmother (although not the best presentation, they serve large portions with a tasty home cooking feel).
They also have an old school decoration with waitresses that look like they have been working there since it opened - giving you the confidence that they know what they are doing (plus they are all super friendly).
Il Vesuvio is in the heart of the financial district and right by La Moneda, making it a great place for lunch.
I recommend trying to come before the lunch rush as the chefs tend to put a little more thought into your dish.
If you are getting off of work and need a quick place to see a game Il Vesuvio is perfect! They sell national beer and have a good TV to watch the important games. Plus, this is a great place to share a pizza with colleagues.
I recommend the pastel de choclo or pizzas (really perfect Italian-Chilean fusion restaurant).
They also serve empanadas and pizzas to go! Give them a call before the lunch rush and get them to make your pizza and pick it up before Il Vesuvio gets busy. read more
